Shining the dim light on her, everyone saw an odd colored baby lying on Wang Shanshan, it used its pair of insect-like eyes to size you up. At this moment, everyone's almost collapsed in fright.
“Ah~!"
Everyone screamed, their fear had completely erupted, and all of them subconsciously fled away from Wang Shanshan.
"Damn it, the newborn couldn’t attack me, so it went and attacked other people instead?" Yang Jian clenched his fists tightly, he felt powerlessness.
Though he wanted to save her, he didn't dare to come near.
The eye residing in his body could only see through the darkness of the ghost’s domain. Even when scared away the newborn, it was because of the eye’s instinctual response to danger, there was no way for him to deal with this ghost infant.
"Let’s go."
He gritted his teeth, and almost left right away like his instincts were yelling at him to.
"Help, help, help me..."
Wang Shanshan had a pained look, she was like a fish on the verge of death, her mouth gasping for its last breaths, and her hands stretched out towards Yang Jian as difficult as it was, as if he was her last hope, she cried for help.
Although Yang Jian didn't look back, the eye behind his head captured this scene.
Seeing the painful look of Wang Shanshan, his classmate, calling for help, he stopped himself from running away.
This scene was the same as when Fang Jing pushed him into the toilet.
Wang Shanshan has not yet lost consciousness. Although she was filled with fear, at this moment of despair, she is desperate for someone to help herself.
“If I leave now, what’s the difference between me and Fang Jing, we’re both using the lives of our classmates to delay the ghost, just to save ourselves"
Yang Jian struggled in his mind: "Wang Shanshan is different from Duan Peng and Zheng Fei. They weren’t innocent. It's their fault for trying to kill me just to save themselves."
"Plus now that I’m a ghost user. With the power of a ghost, I am no longer an ordinary person, trying to save people may not necessarily mean certain death."
In that split second, a lot went through his mind.
The eye behind his head never looked away from Wang Shanshan, it looked at her painful and struggling expression, and her arms that were gradually going limp.
If she wasn’t saved soon, Wang Shanshan will definitely be strangled to death by the newborn
“Fuck it."
Yang Jian cursed, and immediately turned and ran over, without a second thought, he punched the newborn who was strangling Wang Shanshan on its head.
If this scene was uploaded onto the Internet, with him beating on a baby’s head so violently, he will definitely be cancelled instantly.
As the newborn took a punch to its head, a portion of his head caved in, but it didn't suffer any damage. Its pair of pitch black eyes looked at Yang Jian strangely.
“Wahhh..."
It let out a strange cry, the newborn seemed to be agitated, it let go of Wang Shanshan, and lept towards Yang Jian, its cheeks split open as his mouth unhinged, exceeding the limit of human beings, and he swallowed half of his arm in one gulp. It was cold and sticky, but like being sucked into a black hole, not only could his arm not be yanked out, but his body was constantly sinking into the big dark mouth.
“Cough, cough…”
Wang Shanshan sat on the floor, paralysed, panting for breath.
“I’m being eaten?"
Yang Jian felt like parts of his body were being melted. It seemed that all his flesh was being fed into that mouth, he would soon be eaten alive.
However.
A jabbing pain came rippling from the arm.
It was like being torn apart by the flesh, but also like crushing up your very soul.
The newborn yelled out in pain, and spat out Yang Jian’s arm, then fell to the ground with a thud like all its had lost all its strength, it then quickly crawled back, like it was trying to escape. Quickly disappearing above the stairs.
“Damn it, it's that feeling again."
Yang Jian was drenched in cold sweat, trembling in pain, he couldn't help but scream.
The part of his arm that was swallowed by the newborn was shrouded in a red aura,
His flesh was torn apart roughly, from which numerous scarlet eyeballs emerged from the wounds. Before, there was only one eye on the back of his hand. Then after he got attacked by the newborn, a second eye appeared from the back of his head.
And now, after being bitten, four eyes grew suddenly.
The number of red eyes were rapidly increasing.
Perhaps that was the only reason the newborn was forced back.
“Y-Yang Jian, how are you doing, are you okay?"
Wang Shanshan just escaped from her death, although she was still in shock, and full of fear, she still knew it was Yang Jian who had saved her just now.
Watching Yang Jian rolling on the ground in pain, she asked nervously, stretching out her hand to help him up.
All of a sudden.
Yang Jian stopped moving, his arm sprung out from a weird posture that seemed to disregard his joints, he grabbed onto Wang Shanshan’s palm. This wasn’t possible for normal people to do.
There were five eyes on his arm, all darting around, then they all stared at her together.
“Ah~!"
Wang Shanshan slumped back onto the ground in shock and couldn't help but scream.
But soon, the five eyes on his arm closed again.
Yang Jian's voice sounded: "I'm fine, it's difficult to be a good guy. In trying to save you, I almost got killed too. In the end I couldn't match Fang Jing’s ruthlessness."
The pain quickly faded, and he stood up with a pale face, leaning against the wall, his muscles were still twitching.
He really didn't want to experience that soul crushing pain again.
“One bite and my whole body was almost swallowed as well. So this is the power of the newborn in Zhou Zheng’s belly? That’s terrifying... plus, that thing seems to be maturing,"
Yang Jian examined his arm, he could feel that there were a lot of things squirming under his skin, which could emerge from underneath anytime.
The presence of the eyes were getting stronger.
It’s awakening.
“Sorry, I dragged you down." Wang Shanshan muttered.
"It’s fine. Saving you was a personal decision. I just don’t want to become like Fang Jing, willing to do anything to survive, even then, from the moment I was pushed into the toilet, I was already dead, Now I’m just relying on the power of a ghost to survive, every minute I live is a blessing, even if I didn’t save you, and I wouldn’t have much longer to live."Yang Jian said.
After all of this, he already understood his situation.
“Don't just sit here, come, if that thing comes again, we’ll all die here." Yang Jian held back his pain.
Wang Shanshan said in a crying tone: "I-I can’t move."
“It's just like in the movie. In times of crisis, the female character will hinder the group." Yang Jian joked, but then he saw that behind Wang Shanshan's neck were two black palm prints.
They were left behind by the ghost infant, remaining on her body like a tattoo, it was very obvious.
The dark complexion was even spreading around, like an acute infectious disease.
He shuddered, but didn't tell her about it, it wasn’t the time for that.
The newborn was only temporarily repelled, it wouldn’t be impossible for it to strike again.
And if it attacks a few more times, Yang Jian had a feeling that he would soon follow in the footsteps of Zhou Zheng, and died as a result of his ghost awakening.
“I’ll hold you up, can you still walk?" He helped Wang Shanshan up and felt her trembling all over.
This was caused by excessive fear.
She didn’t voice it out, but her body was very honest about her feelings.
“Y-Yeah, I can walk."
Wang Shanshan said. Her body leaned against Yang Jian, her chest was almost rubbing against his, she wasn’t at all evasive about this, but rather seemed very intimate.
But she wasn’t trying to seduce him, rather under fear, she instinctively sought to be near a powerful figure.
And at this moment, Yang Jian clearly met this requirement.
